I live with them now. I like them. They have red hair and freckles, lots of freckles, the kind that sit close and blur into each other. I dotted orange paint over my face to look just like them. They cried and hugged me tight, my freckles smudging into theirs.

Aw, this is lush, Nikki. A beautiful moment, brought to life with a simple, relatable image. (Also, hello from Sunderland.)
Thank you for your kind words!

Thanks Sharon, that really means a lot!
What a nice, clean image of the child-adult relationship that must surely form, for adoption to become Family! Well done.
